SBB Ee 3/3 16451

This locomotive, scrapped in July 2017 was a reserve Locomotive, primarily used to move "Flirts" or coaches into a workshop in Basel, known as the RKZ. Usually a smaller unit does the job via remote control. Stadler trains are brought here from all over Switzerland to be have their wheels worked on.

 

This was one of the 14 remaining Ee 3/3s in active service in Switzerland. Their numbers have been declining rapidly over the past few years (136 were originally built).
